Ins / Out’s this week: Hard calls / Future hope

[Rocket]

In - Freeman, Rice, Battle
Out - Billings, Newnes, Armitage

Season gone, play some kids and show Billings, Newnes what is expected. Armitage unfortunately playing in gum boots and can’t cover he ground anymore.

Rice uses the ball properly, Battle will be better at AFL level and Freeman is ready.

Give us some hope Richardson, same time set a higher bar.

Freeman! Let's not bugger him up, he needs to get through another 2 or 3 VFL games before he can be considered. Billings form turned in the second half, so why would you drop him now?

Good post. Absolutely NOTHING to lose. But we all know that nothing will change, same old same old, gee I’m tired of that!

The damn coach mentioned Lonie in his Presser after the game.

I swore at the TV.

I mean why bother?

Play D'mac or something.

[MC Gusto]

I agree about giving some of these kids a crack but has dmac shown enough form to get a run at the seniors? I’d hazard a guess that he hasnt

[bigred]

Neither has Lonie to be honest. But Lonie just does not work anymore at senior level.

Freeman is probably the "in form" guy at Sandringham over the past two weeks.

Billings and Six tackle Jack need some time with Sandringham to get some serious numbers up.

They are both too good for that level and should be able to show it immediately.

But the coach wont. Because he doesn't.

Replay of the Sandy V Essendon game is up..

I'm not sure Freeman is ready just yet but I agree with the rest. I'd add a few as well.

Out : Armitage, Newnes, Billings, Weller, Gilbert

In : Sinclair, White, Battle, Rice, Austin

<1 week ban>

ABUSING OR DEMEANING A SAINTS PLAYER, FAMILY OR OFFICIAL RULE

Commenting on the performance of a Saints player / official is allowed. In cases where posters abuse or demean a Saints player / official / or their family, OR casts dispersions on their character and it is deemed by the moderators to be unreasonably offensive and inflammatory, then the moderators (if all moderators agree) can issue a Saintsational warning, or in extreme cases a 1 week ban of the offending poster.

However, we recognise that match time and match days are emotionally charged. If a post is made that is deemed by a moderator to be highly inappropriate, offensive or inflammatory during match days, the moderator can edit this post and that moderator has the right to unilaterally issue a 6 hour ban, as a cooling off period for the offending poster or posters, but in extreme cases a 1 week ban.

[degruch]

How did Sinc's go over the weekend? Didn't seem to feature much in discussions...he should be smashing it, Newnes appears to be holding his beer, so all he needs to do is step up.

[loris]

Is “ChrisRyanSaints”, “CityWest’ returned?

Same posting style; shouting with capital letters, profanities, incorrect spelling of players names, never edits his posts to correct the numerous spelling/punctuation errors. If he at least did the latter, the posts might be legible and easier to comprehend.

[DJ Higgins]

I understand the sentiment for wanting Freeman to play but not yet, it is a step up to AFL and we need to make sure his hammy can cope. Give him another month. Out of interest I see his stats but was he damaging? I.e. no point getting 30 disposals if they aren't to our advantage.
Not sure if Battle is Ready yet either. We all want someone who can kick goals but is his body ready yet. He wasn't great last AFL game from memory.
If Carlisle is out then we will need another big body down back, not another half back flanker, so i don't think Rice or White fit this bill. Maybe Gilbo slots in and we shuffle players around that way.
One definite change would be Sinclair in. Still not sure why he got dropped. Armo out for sure and Newnes is on thin ice so he may go as well

In saying all this what is the beat that Richo selects Lonie again?

[parkeysainter]

Battle actually flew to Perth as an emergency so he wouldn't have felt the best yesterday I imagine.

Freeman needs another couple of weeks. He is looking very good though. Phillips (1st game!) showed the footy world that if you're dominating in the VFL (very good comp) then it can translate into the AFL.

Special Fried was good also. Surely he will get a game soon.

[saynta]

Freeman has been a class above in his only two games back from injury, but give him another week at least.

Great hands.

Reminds me of Hawthorn's Mitchell, the current one.

Only watched about a quarter of the stream, oh he's very good in tight DJ, beautifully clean hands and nice vision.

[bigred]

Gawd how bad did Sandringham butcher the ball.

Just wow.

No to Lonie. Turned it over by foot four times in the second quarter alone.

The light is dimming ..get a grip ..we are the most intriguing club in the comp.

[Devilhead]

Play Freeman a couple more weeks in the ressies to make sure his hamstring is ok?? WTF??

Consecutive 30 possession games says it looks pretty good to me!

Play him against the Filth and give the club, the players and it's supporters something to get fired up about

Something to get excited about......a distraction from the putrid crap we've been serving up......and a feel good story....beside he couldn't do any worse.

Certain players getting told they’ll play then they don’t even get named as an emergency probably isn’t the best way to keep players.

What!
Alarming if true but the body language at ground level from players to Ticho spoke volumes to me just need that d7mb ass board to find a reason to admit they ballsed this extension up big time

Good call.
Overdue call.
Action at last call.
CONSEQUENCES call.

(Prob spare Gilbo as Jake will be out this week).
